I’m so used to tough love, and sometimes it stops me from talking to certain people about how I feel. With Stephanie, she’s very kind and gentle with her words, but still gets her message across. She really helps me think and sit about how I’m feeling, and really understand why I’m feeling that way. She challenges my thought process in a healthy way. She is there for me whenever I need it, even on the weekends or at weird hours. Stephanie is amazing! This is the best experience I’ve had with therapy.

Welcome!

Congrats on taking that step to begin your online therapy journey with us!! My name is Stephanie and I'm a licensed clinical mental health counselor from Salt Lake. I received my Bachelor's degree in psychology from scenic Southern Utah University (go T-birds!) and received my Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling from La Salle University in Philadelphia (Go birds again!).

The majority of my post-Master's work Is with addiction and dual diagnosis so lots of depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. I've also been heavily involved in marriage and family counseling as well as coaching life skills and effective communication.

I am very CBT and behavior-oriented but I also know connecting and having a good relationship with your therapist is key and my job Is to help you feel comfortable and ready for change. With that being said, a good therapist will also call you out on your challenges and hang-ups and that can be a difficult but very rewarding experience. I love getting creative with my therapy techniques and interventions because it makes therapy more fun and why couldn't it be?

I wish the best of luck to you on this journey! You deserve it!!

About online counseling

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
